The Way of the Center

"Have you started!?" Seeing that An Jie took the initiative to lean against him, Chris Bosh gritted his teeth. If James hadn't helped that ball just now, Bosh would have lost it.

But now, Anjie's singles in the low post, the assistance that Bosh can get is very limited.

Udonis Haslem, the 32-year-old forward who joined the league with James in 2003, is the only support Bosh can get.

In today's league, there are not many players who can impress fans with their hard work when they are doing dirty work. And Haslem is one of the few.

While he was never a star on the court, he embodies all the traits and traits a Heat player would want. Leadership, tenacity, durability, stability and purity, you can find it all in Haslem.

After seeing Anjie receive the basketball and start to push forward, Haslem tried his best to get rid of the entanglement with Hickson, and was ready to defend the basket with Bosh at any time to complete the encirclement of Anjie.

Bosh has almost no ability to resist in front of Anjie. Every time Anjie sits back, Bosh will take a step back.

When there were still two or three steps away from the penalty area, An Jie suddenly turned around and accelerated, planning to break through Bosh!

Seeing this situation, Haslem immediately moved laterally to the basket, holding his hands high. Even if he can't stop An Jie, he will make An Jie a foul.

Seeing that An Jie was getting closer and closer to him, Haslem gritted his teeth! Haslem knew very well how strong Anjie's impact was. Even if he managed to draw a foul on this ball, An Jie's collision would still be a great injury to him.

Seeing Haslem standing still under the basket, Anjie, who was planning to dunk, changed his mind. He didn't want the old and cunning Haslem to make himself a foul as he wished, but with Haslem blocking the front and Bosh chasing after him, the space Angie could use was very small.

then,

An Jie suddenly slowed down. With only a few centimeters away from Haslem, he just took advantage of his height and wingspan to complete the throw in front of Haslem with his hands raised high!

"It's not a regular shot...but An still scored the ball! It's beautiful!" When seeing An Jie shoot, Mike Brin was a little disappointed. But I didn't expect that the current Anjie can already score goals in an unconventional situation.

"Damn it." Bosh disheveled and picked up the ball that leaked from the net to the ground. He and Haslem worked together to block it, but they couldn't stop Anjie. It seems that today, I am destined to have a very difficult life.

Anjie's goal did not touch James much, not that James did not trust Bosh and Haslem, but that he knew Anjie's strength. This guy is hard to restrain his hands and feet.

In the following game, the two sides fought back and forth for several rounds. However, what surprised the fans was that both the Blazers and the Heat frequently fought against each other under the high-intensity defense.

Wade, who was suffering from injuries, played very awkwardly under Matthews' marking. Wade is a player who mainly scores through breakthroughs, but Anjie guards the basket and Matthews' tight defense , Let Wade experience failure after failure.

Bosh? This guy can be regarded as an all-around insider. But when he faced Anjie, Bosh became "all incapable".

As for Chalmers and Haslem, scoring is not their specialty. In the entire Heat team, only James can still play at the level. Iguodala did everything he could, but James is the type who can score when he wants to.

As for the Trail Blazers, the situation is not much better. After Iguodala hit a three-pointer in the opening game, he was naturally completely strangled by James. The poor touch of Matthews and Lillard wasted several wonderful passes from Anjie. Hixon? Although he was facing Haslem, Hickson's limited offensive ability still prevented him from playing any decent offense.

Only Anjie and James, as long as they make a shot, most of them can score. It is also under the leadership of these two guys that the scores of the two teams will continue to rise.

The game has been played under this rhythm until the eighth minute of the first quarter, and Ricard began to gradually deploy the rotation lineup. On the Heat's side, only nine players can participate in the rotation, and Spoelstra really left James on the court!

"Batum! Give me a hard attack!" Ricard doesn't think Batum can defeat James, but the more active Batum is on the offensive end, the more James will be consumed.

Surprisingly, Batum attacked very efficiently after he came on the court. Maybe James is also aware of this problem, so he didn't go all out to fight Batum. In this way, Batum became the most efficient scoring point for the Trail Blazers today besides Anjie.

Finally, knowing that there was only one minute left in the first quarter, Spoelstra finally freed up to replace James.

Ricard took a special look at James' condition. The guy didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, as if fighting for a long time had no effect on him at all. But Ricard is not worried. This is only the first quarter. When the game reaches the fourth quarter, James will not be so calm.

In the end, with James' super long playing time, the Heat led the Blazers by three points 21 to 18 in the away game.

"The Heat's problem is very obvious. In the first quarter, except for the Big Three, no one scored a single point. The Trail Blazers are not doing well either. Although there are many scorers, except for Ambatum, Everyone else's efficiency is terrible." Mike Breen looked at the data sheets of the first quarter of the game between the two sides, and these data were not beautiful.

The reason for this to happen is the excellent defense on both sides. Under an excellent defense, the team wants to break the situation, or force the opponent to make continuous mistakes and use conversion offense to open the score. Or, just rely on the stars of their respective teams to carve out a gap!

Obviously, the choice before Ricard and Spoelstra is the second one!

"LeBron, I'll give you a five-minute break at the beginning of the second quarter! After playing, take up the scoring banner!" Spoelstra knew that it would be difficult for the scarred Wade and Bosh to fight for the Heat. . Only people of James' level can break through the Blazers' defense.

"Okay, everyone, come on!" James, as always, mobilized the enthusiasm of his teammates. This guy deeply knows that a team can only exert its strongest strength when it is united as one.

"Ann! You still didn't attack resolutely enough in the first quarter! You can play with confidence, the Heat's inside line, there is no one who can guard against you!" Ricard also sent his most powerful offensive player. .

The battle in the second quarter was on the verge of breaking out. Wade first used a classic lost step to shake off Anjie and make a layup. An Jie shook his head helplessly. Even though Wade lost the speed of the year, he can still complete the layup with a very confusing pace. But without the support of speed, how many times can Wade break through Anjie's defense?

In the Heat's second attack, Wade repeated his old tricks, once again bypassing Matthews through Haslem's pick-and-roll, and went straight to the basket.

Although Bosh has been blocking Anjie for Wade, Anjie just made a quick circle forward and broke through Bosh's shelter.

Seeing An Jie mention it, Wade didn't show any fear. He took that wobbly step again, but this time, An Jie's defensive position was perfect!

"No chance!" Wade knew that his space had been blocked by Anjie, and if he made a rash move now, it would only add a block to Anjie. He glanced at Bosh who was behind Anjie, because Anjie helped defend him, as long as Wade can hand the ball to Bosh, Bosh will face the unguarded basket under the basket!

Thinking of this, Wade took off resolutely! He passed the ball from Anjie's waist to Bosh. Bosh understood it, caught the ball firmly, and jumped up to dunk!

"Crack!" With a loud noise, the basketball in Bosh's hand was slammed into the air. Seeing the ball flying towards him, Hickson controlled the ball for the Trail Blazers with a single hand from the conditioned reflex class.

Lillard, Matthews and Iguodala advanced in three lines. Hickson handed the ball to Lillard who was dragged behind. In the play, Iguodala assisted and scored a three-pointer.

Wade and Bosh looked at each other, their cooperation just now was good enough, but even so, they couldn't shake Anjie's defense!

In fact, Anjie guessed Wade's intention when he took off. Wade is not the kind of player who picks up the ball and hits it indiscriminately, and decides to take off when there is no space. Then Wade must be passing the ball! The passing target is undoubtedly Bosh behind him.

So Anjie used all his tricks and let Bosh catch the basketball. Then, when the "Dragon King" was so defenseless, he blocked the ball from behind.

"Ann's blocking is very beautiful! He used his excellent ability to read the game to see through the thoughts of Wade and Bosh!"

"Ann alone has contained the two giants of the Heat. I think Coach Spoelstra must make some changes!" The change O'Neill refers to is undoubtedly to replace James.

"Boss, I've had enough rest." Seeing that the Heat had been suppressed by Anjie, James took the initiative to ask Spoelstra for a challenge.

"But, now you only have a two-minute break!" Spoelstra looked at the time, which was far from the scheduled five-minute break.

"It's okay, I've already rested. Let me play." James' expression was very determined, and Spoelstra could not refuse. In most cases, players listen to the coach's arrangement. But there are just a few players in this league that the head coach can listen to.

Spoelstra gritted his teeth and took advantage of Bosh's foul on Anjie, which was a dead ball, to send James on the court.

"Oh? We saw that the Heat sent LeBron James again! My God, this guy hasn't had a long rest." CCTV's Yu Jia originally focused on An Jie who made free throws, but James's On the stage, the atmosphere became restless again.

Anjie turned a deaf ear to everything around him, and he calmly made two free throws, allowing the Trail Blazers to further expand their results. Wade and Bosh, these two guys have been completely eaten up by Anjie. Only James can break the balance and change the situation.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." When An Jie passed by James, his mouth was not idle.

"I won't let you wait in vain." James looked serious. Now he is no longer the kind LeBron James before the game.

Now LeBron James has become the most dangerous man on earth! He is always ready to tear opponents apart, including Anjie!

Anjie was very successful in forcing out James in the shortest possible time. But the real test has just come...
